Two major waterways that have fallen into disrepair will soon restore native brook trout populations, making the northern city of Caribou a destination for fishing and recreation enthusiasts. Collins Pond and Otter Brook historically served as pathways for brook trout migrating to and from the Aroostook River. In the last century, both waterways have had large-scale environmental damage, driving away wildlife. But if city officials have their way, they could become wildlife and recreational hotspots again within the next several years, drawing more outdoor enthusiasts from other parts of the state and country.
